Trilafon Uses

Trilafon uses are primarily focused on treating adults who have schizophrenia or severe nausea and vomiting. As a "typical antipsychotic" medication, it works by lessening or blocking dopamine, a chemical in the brain, that can cause symptoms of schizophrenia or severe nausea and vomiting when elevated. Off-label Trilafon uses consist of treating agitation, dementia, and hiccups.
